Only picked ours to bash us again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Which part in what he wrote is inaccurate? Yeah I dislike the guy too, but honestly I would have to agree with both his assessment and prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs4LordStanley Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I have a funny feeling that we're gonna kick ass. I know it's only been 2 hard practices but you don't know how [positively] it effects them. I still believe we can get a couple of long winning streaks and get into that 8th seed. Just my 2 cents.

redruM Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 8th seed?? I'm praying for the top pick at this point, I want long losing streaks!! I thought that was why LL brought back Lemaire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents. 22 points out with 47 to play. you do realize that means the Devils have earned fewer points than the distance between their place in the standings and the 8 seed?

Marv4Life Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah man it's gonna be real tough. They have to win at least 35 games and get a few OTL points to have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twillms73 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Agreed. It's not that he happens to be right about the current state of the team. It's the snugness in which he writes. It is painfully obvious to anyone with a brain that he has had it out for the Devils since day one. What is also obvious is how little he truly knows about the game. Sadly for them, that seems to fit the mold for ESPN hockey writers. They are glorified blog writers who just bitch and moan about any team not named Penguins or Rangers. never said he was inaccurate. just said he loves bashing the Devils at any chance he gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like realistic, there's no way a team that hasn't won more than two in a row in an ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR is going to magically rip off a .750 record the second half of the season, this isn't a cheesy B-movie. Because this hasn't happened in a generation some of you have no appreciation how big of a hole this is It's not even that we're behind 22 points, it's that we have to pass seven teams as well, just to get to the eighth seed. And given the fact the projected point total of the eighth seed is 90+ points that makes it much worse, this isn't the NBA where you can make the playoffs with a 35-47 record.

It's only one person in this thread who thinks this is going to be end like the first Major League. The rest of us are firmly grounded in reality.

Sadly for them, that seems to fit the mold for ESPN hockey writers. They are glorified blog writers who just bitch and moan about any team not named Penguins or Rangers. Burnside has been making the same prediction about the Devils for the last five seasons. Yes, he finally got it right this season...he's probably telling everyone who'll listen "See...I knew it all along!" Like Opie and Anthony used to say "You don't go to CNN to hear dick jokes; don't listen to us to hear hard-hitting news." In that same vein, I don't go to ESPN for legitimate hockey talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A collosal dissapointment who didn't compete and had off-field issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
